The way we see it, a productive day in the shop requires equal parts determination and optimistic thinking. That’s why our Retro-X® Vest feels right at home among tools – it’s tough, yet full of promise. This versatile vest has a windproof barrier sandwiched between a thick 100% polyester pile (86% recycled) on the outside and a moisture-wicking, brushed-mesh lining that keeps warmth in and winter out. The chest pocket, collar and wind flap are Supplex® nylon, and the side pockets are lined with brushed polyester mesh for skin comfort when you finally put away the tools.

Recycled Polyester

In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people’s health.

Today, we’re able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
